About PaaMano Eskrima's Programs

PME Philippines Eagles Program 6yrs-9yrs

PaaMano Eskrima has a new Eskrima and skills program that was specially developed for 6 year olds to 9 year olds. Our Little Eagles program focuses not only on providing the foundational skills necessary to become successful martial arts practitioners but also on developing proprioception, coordination, self-confidence and helping students meet and exceed important child-developmental milestones. Classes meet Fridays from 5:30pm-6:30pm.

We have combined our 25 plus years of knowledge and experience in the martial arts and in healthy biomechanical development to create the PaaMano Eskrima Little Eagles Program. Through the Little Eagles classes our students develop greater hand/eye coordination, balance/proprioception, body awareness, self-confidence, agility and the basic eskrima skills needed to become successful practitioners of the Filipino Martial Arts.

PaaMano Eskrima Tarsiers 4 yrs to 6 yrs

Our PaaMano Eskrima® Program teaches Eskrima and specially developed skills for 4 to 6 year olds. We focus not only on providing the foundational skills necessary to become successful martial arts practitioners but also on developing balance, coordination, self-confidence and helping students meet and exceed important child-developmental milestones. Tarsier students will learn the foundations for: rolls front and back, breakfalls, footwork, offensive and defensive timing and distance, balance techniques, punches, kicks, noodle drills and basic Eskrima with single and double sticks. Our 45 minute classes disguise repetition in fun games and drills as well as teach the basic principals of respect and focus.

PaaMano Eskrima Advanced Program

The PaaMano Eskrima Advanced Program was developed for advanced martial arts practitioners in any style that also have intermediate/advanced eskrima training. These are fast paced classes that incorporate advanced empty hand, knife, single stick, double stick, sweeps, takedowns and ground work. This is the first time PG Roland has agreed to teach these techniques outside of his immediate family.

Do to the pace and the scope of the class all perspective students must submit an application and audition to enter the program. Students must adhere to a strong code of ethics as PG will not teach such advanced and potentially devastating techniques to be used irresponsibly.

"I'm not a master. I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning. So I'm a student-master. I consider the master as such when they close the casket." Bruce Lee
